License Management
This topic presents an overview of license management for IBM® Rational® Quality
Manager.
Floating Client Access Licenses IBM Rational Quality
Manager supports
both fixed and Floating Client Access Licenses (CALs). Floating Client
Access Licenses are licenses that can be shared by multiple users
who can individually acquire a license when they need it, if one is
available. For example, if two users only use Rational Quality Manager occasionally,
then those users can share a floating CAL instead of purchasing two
separate permanent CALs.
Installing license keys
You can use the License Key Management section
of Jazz Server Administration to install and manage server activation
keys and client access license activation keys. Because Rational Quality Manager includes
a set of trial licenses, you will need to install the license keys
when the trial licenses expire after 60 days. Installing the license
keys updates trial licenses into valid operating licenses.
Managing floating access licenses
You can install and configure floating client access licenses
(CALs) through the License Key Management section
of Jazz Server Administration.
